I'm not on chemo now, but I got Revlimid from CVS and Part D/Humana helped pay for the prescription. I paid nothing. Medicaid worked with Humana, I believe. I had to apply for Medicaid. I could never pay for the prescriptions on my own....not even the copay. Part D also paid for my other treatment prescriptions, like Acyclovir.
I guess Alaska is just different as far as Medical issues. Bottom line; the most I've paid since my 2018 diagnosis of MM, is 5.00 copay, and then not every time. How did I luck out? I don't understand , I guess.

I feel sorry for people that don’t have a good drug plan or government help too pay for the really expensive drugs you need too fight Myeloma.

Lenalidomide....if it hasn't been answered already.
I have Medicare and Medicaid; Revlimid is covered.

Lenalidomide is the generic for Revlimid. I was on it for a short time but the side effects were much worse than the Revlimid. It was not any cheaper than the Revlimid. Talk with your doctor and the finance people at doctors office to get the answers. there are at three manufacturers of the generic. The active ingredients are the same but the fillers are different (that is why I had such bad side effects)
